George Clooney has revealed he's given up riding motorbikes, after a nasty accident led to being banned by wife Amal.

Speaking on Friday's This Morning, the actor, 58, admitted he planned to carry on riding the bikes until a friend - who was also involved in the accident - decided to give up riding them.

George was hit head-on by a car as he rode a scooter in Italy during filming for the miniseries Catch-22, and was lucky to walk away without a single broken bone.

George told Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford: 'I was very lucky to pull out of that one, that officially got me off of motorbikes after 40 years.

'There was one of those conversations, we were coming back from the hospital and [Amal] said ''that's it,'' and I thought maybe I can get around this. 

'But my buddy who was in the accident said to me ''yeah I'm off.'' Then I was ganged up on.'

Grant Heslov, Executive Producer on Catch-22 added: 'That morning was bad. Much worse than I think the press understood. He was behind me and we came up over a hill and I saw a guy who was going to turn and we locked eyes and then he went...

'And he just missed me and I just heard this 'kaboom' and I thought ''Oh my god, George is dead.'' 

'I was literally holding him and I said to myself ''If he lives I will give up, I will never ride motorcycles again.'' The amazing thing is that he didn't have a broken bone.'
